Heat Stroke

Heatstroke occurs when normal body mechanisms cannot keep the body's temperature in a safe range. Animals do not have efficient cooling systems (like humans who sweat) and get overheated easily. A dog with moderate heatstroke (body temperature from 104º to 106ºF) can recover within an hour if given prompt first aid and veterinary care (normal body temperature is 100-102.5°F). Severe heatstroke (body temperature over 106ºF) can be deadly and immediate veterinary assis-tance is needed.

Signs

A dog suffering from heatstroke will display several signs:

* Rapid panting

• Bright red tongue

• Red or pale gums

• Thick, sticky saliva

• Depression

• Weakness

• Dizziness

• Vomiting - sometimes with blood

• Diarrhea

• Shock

• Coma

What you should do

Remove the dog from the hot area immediately. Prior to taking him to your veterinarian, lower his temperature by wetting him thoroughly with cool water (for very small dogs, use lukewarm water), then increase air movement around him with a fan. CAUTION: Using very cold water can actually be counterproductive. Cooling too quickly and especially allowing his body temperature to become too low can cause other life-threatening medical conditions. The rectal temperature should be checked every 5 minutes. Once the body temperature is 103ºF, the cooling measures should be stopped and the dog should be dried thoroughly and covered so he does not continue to lose heat. Even if the dog appears to be recovering, take him to your veterinarian as soon as possible. He should still be examined since he may be dehydrated or have other complications.

Allow free access to water or a children's rehydrating solution if the dog can drink on his own. Do not try to force-feed cold water; the dog may inhale it or choke.

What your veterinarian will do

Your veterinarian will lower your dog's body temperature to a safe range (if you have not already) and continually monitor his temperature. Your dog will be given fluids, and possibly oxygen. He will be monitored for shock, respiratory distress, kidney failure, heart abnormalities, and other compli-cations, and treated accordingly. Blood samples may be taken before and during the treatment. The clotting time of the blood will be monitored, since clotting problems are a common complica-tion.(See page 2)

Hello all you guys…..It’s been almost a year since the last newsletter, my bad.

Lots has happened in our lives in the last year, human medical stuff and a slowing

down of incoming dogs. Who lives with us has not changed much only adop-

tions. I hope to find interesting articles to share with you in the future.

This isn’t related to a specific Sheltie but is to anyone who uses a groomer for their

pet.

A 2 year old Golden Retriever died in a Petco grooming shop recently.

Many groomers hang a dryer on the cage to dry the dog while she works on other

dogs. Actually they are called cage dryers.

Why you had better KNOW your groomer. ASK HOW they dry the dogs- If it's not by hand- LEAVE!!!!!! Allison Marks left her 2-year-old golden retriever, Colby, at a Petco store Friday for what she thought would be a routine grooming. When she called to ask about him, though, she was told to go to a nearby animal hospital. There she learned Colby had passed away. Marks was told by the veterinarian that Colby had likely suffered a heat stroke after being left in a heated cage to dry. "It sickens me that they could just let something like this happen," she said. "How could he not suffer? He was in a cage for God knows how long." Marks said the vet explained to her that Colby's temperature was more than 105 degrees one hour after his death.

Heat Stroke continued

Aftercare

Dogs with moderate heatstroke often recover without complicating health problems. Severe heatstroke can cause organ damage that might need ongoing care such as a special diet prescribed by your veterinarian. Dogs who suffer from heat-stroke once increase their risk for getting it again and steps must be taken to prevent it on hot, humid days.

Prevention

Any pet that cannot cool himself off is at risk for heatstroke. Following these guidelines can help prevent serious problems.

• Keep pets with predisposing conditions like heart disease, obesity, older age, or breathing problems cool and in the shade. Even normal activity for these pets can be harmful.

• Provide access to water at all times.

• Do not leave your pet in a hot parked car even if you're in the shade or will only be gone a short time. The temperature inside a parked car can quickly reach up to140 degrees.

• Make sure outside dogs have access to shade.

• On a hot day, restrict exercise and don't take your dog jogging with you. Too much exercise when the weather is very

hot can be dangerous.

• Do not muzzle your dog.

• Avoid places like the beach and especially concrete or asphalt areas where heat is reflected and there is no access to shade.

• Wetting down your dog with cool water or allowing him to swim can help maintain a normal body temperature.

Move your dog to a cool area of the house. Air conditioning is one of the best ways to keep a dog cool, but is not always dependable. To provide a cooler environment, freeze water in soda bottles, or place ice and a small amount of water in several resealable food storage bags, then wrap them in a towel or tube sock. Place them on the floor for the dog to lay on.

Kevin Benjamino, DVM, DACVS...our wonderful surgeon from AVS (see page 6) one of our favorite Vets.

One of my main reasons for starting this blog was to reach people who may be in need, in distress due to the current condition

of their pet, or just plain curious about different disease mechanisms. I tried to address multiple surgical conditions in the dog

and cat, becausebecausebecausebecause I am a surgeon and try to approach things in a calculated, methodical nature. My overall goal is to help people

and pets.

I never in a million years thought I would be writing articles and/or blogs (some may wish I didn’t). I do want to thank the fol-

lowing that I do have to this website. Writing and grammar, not arguably I’m sure, have never been my strong suit. If you won-

dered if I was a little off, you probably could have guessed – I am LEFT handed. Yes folks, I follow in the footsteps of some

famous people: Michelangelo, Ty Cobb, and the list goes on. You would have thought that being left handed would have made

me right brained and lean towards, the arts, writing, etc, however I don’t and I am sure my high school English/grammar teacher

would have a visceral, gut wrenching response to my writings (I am trying extra hard to paint a picture, just for her).

While I will continue writing posts about disease processes and various cases that are seen through the hospitals at Affiliated

Veterinary Specialists, I would like to change focus from time to time, addressing topics that may surpass the practice of veteri-

nary medicine and deviate into the emotional, communication, and management world. How many times have we found our-

selves immersed in situations where we have been overwhelmed either with the medical condition of our pet or the declining

medical condition of a loved one and thought “if only my doctor would listen to me, to my questions, and concerns”? At times

we may feel like the tree falling in the middle of a dense forest – never heard or noticed. At times, we may be the doctor who is

trying their best to communicate the gravity of a medical condition to a client or patient and don’t know how to chose our words

properly or are rushed by the overbooked schedule we allow. It is not that there is fault to be given, but is there a better way, can

we teach ourselves to be a more articulate, caring professional? Can we manage our time better to be a more caring and compas-

sionate professional; for that matter can we maximize our time both at work and at home? How many times do we feel drained

emotionally when we come home and don’t have enough compassion for the ones who are supposed to matter most to us? What

is the bigger picture, can we “make out the forest through the trees”?

Obviously, there are a lot of topics to discuss and with time and diligence we will cover the big topics. I will try to pull from my

own life lessons and the life lessons of others, both professionally and personally (and I will try to make them short and light if

possible). As a professional, there are times I do my job well and there are certainly times that I could have communicated dif-

ferently or acted differently for a more desired outcome. I do expect that some of my future topics will leave me open and vul-

nerable. I am always open to constructive criticism. For me this altered direction is about self improvement as well – ask my

wife how well I separate work and home life, on second thought don’t.

I will leave with this one thought (OK it will be a long thought, I am long-winded). I remember vividly January 1, 2000 sitting

in the packed waiting room of a hospital emergency room, while my grandfather was being admitted for congestive heart fail-

ure. Being twenty-one years old and that it was New Year’s Day, this wasn’t exactly what I had in mind to say the least. I would

have rather been home watching bowl games and celebrating the new year with my friends and family, however I learned a very

important lesson that I have taken with me since that lonely day. It was just me in the waiting room filled with people waiting

their turn, some in more serious condition than others (many nursing their New Year’s Eve hangover). I can remember the scene

like it was yesterday: an elderly man in a wheelchair came up to me and we exchanged the normal small talk and discussing the

football games that were being played that day. He asked me where I went to school and what my plans were after school. My

answer was well rehearsed, since I knew that I wanted to be a veterinarian from a very early age. I told him my current status of

having applied to various veterinary schools when he abruptly stopped me and gave me this word of advice: “No matter what “No matter what “No matter what “No matter what you do, if you are able to help people and animals ALWAYS treat that opportunity as a blessing and a privilege”you do, if you are able to help people and animals ALWAYS treat that opportunity as a blessing and a privilege”you do, if you are able to help people and animals ALWAYS treat that opportunity as a blessing and a privilege”you do, if you are able to help people and animals ALWAYS treat that opportunity as a blessing and a privilege”. It was obvi-

ous that he had his run in with the medical profession and I am sure he had both positive and negative experiences. He was

right, I was blessed, I had my veterinary school interview at Ohio State University (where I would eventually attend) the day

before my grandfather passed away – it was his dream that I go to veterinary school. That man, whom I do not know his name

and can barely remember his face, touched a young man that day and it is my goal to impact others in a similar way.

An email from Debbie Morse who adopted the 4 month old Kody/Coby….

Darla:

So glad you answered. He is doing really good. He is an excited little guy but as he has grown I am see-

ing a wonderful boy under all that energy and anxiety. I have worked with him on his issues with sounds,

especially beeping. It took a while, but he is just about over it. He has also stopped trying to chase cars

while walking. I got a training slip lead and just the different feel on his neck was all it took. He is smart

and very sensitive. You get a hundred times more from him with "good boy" than NO. He is very so-

cial. Has not met a stranger. He loves dogs and babies. He met my 16 mo. old granddaughter for the first

time. She started throwing the ball to him. He brought it to her every time and was very gentle. She was

squealing with delight and he was an angel. A very joyous moment. I am quite proud of him. It has

been 4 months and he has grown so much. He loves to chew and loves fabrics in particular. I won't tell

you how I know that. He is over 30 pds and very muscular. I believe he would love agility training and I

am looking into that. I just moved to Marietta Ga with my son. He loves the lack of humidity. He has a

bigger house and a bigger yard. I retired and I am now home full time. I do not know what made the first

lady who gothim at the pet shop give him up, but I am glad I found him. He is growing up to be a won-

derful, crazy, maniac of a great sheltie! Hope all is well with you and your pack! Debbie

Melissa and I are sad to inform you that Mandy lost her battle to lymphoma cancer a few weeks ago. As I

think you know, it was first diagnosed in October. We decided to proceed with a chemotherapy and predni-

sone regimen and are very glad we did. She was able to enjoy five very healthy and happy months. We

were told that the regimen would work great for a while and then stop working very suddenly. This is ex-

actly what happened. So once the cancer reemerged, we knew we had to put her down. It was the only de-

cision. The oncologist team here in Savannah was fabulous. Molly seems to be doing fine. We're sure she

misses her sister, but she now gets all the attention, which I'm sure she likes. Thanks so much for bringing

Mandy into our lives. She was a very sweet and cute dog.

Jim & Melissa

Rest in peace Mandy…..

Maybe your daddy’s post will help

Another family make a decision on

Using Cancer drugs or not.

These are Bonnie & Clyde. Brother & sister

raised together. They are 10 years old but act

like youngsters.

I want them to go together if possible. Bonnie

is shy, Clyde is very outgoing and Bonnie

feeds off of Clyde's emotions. If it’s OKAY

with Clyde, it’s Okay with her. Very, very pre-

cious dogs.

Jojo

She is a 5 year old sable fe-

had vaccines updated. She is a

sweet girl who is on the vocal

side. Likes other dogs, plays

with toys, and is a fantastic

companion.
